Vibe Resume Skill is a resume-generation agent skill that lets AI coding assistants like Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and Trae turn raw experience notes or existing resumes into professionally formatted one-page A4 resumes in HTML and PDF.
What is Vibe Resume Skill?
Vibe Resume Skill is a set of instructions and 12 built-in A4 templates that AI coding assistants use to create, update, and tailor resumes. It takes as input your experiences, an existing resume file, or a target job description, and outputs a fully formatted HTML or PDF resume. The skill embeds rules for one-page layout, content density, avatar color preservation, QR code clarity, and final visual checks. It is distributed as an open GitHub repository under the CC BY-NC 4.0 license.
Key Features
- 12 built-in A4 templates — includes basic-a4, editorial, sidebar-compact, timeline-grid, minimal-prose, corporate-classic, gov-red, folio-ledger, mono-raw, code-poetry, swiss-neue, and bauhaus, each with its own information structure, type hierarchy, and spacing rhythm.
- Natural-language editing — you can say "add this internship" or "rebalance the layout" and the AI updates the existing HTML, preserving the template's visual style.
- Fact-preserving content organization — the skill separates education, internship, projects, and skills, and will not invent metrics; it asks for confirmation when facts are unclear.
- One-page balancing — the AI adjusts font sizes, line heights, and paragraph spacing to keep content on a single A4 page and avoid overflow, overlap, or unwanted line breaks.
- JD-based tailoring — provide a job description and the skill reorders content, adjusts headings, keywords, and emphasis to produce a targeted version while keeping original facts.
- Avatar and QR code handling — keeps avatar colors unchanged and ensures QR codes remain clear and unobstructed in the final export.
- Multi-platform compatibility — tested on Codex, Kimi Work, WorkBuddy, and Kouzi (扣子) spaces in addition to common coding agents like Cursor and Trae.
Who is it for?
- Job seekers with scattered experience — they can paste materials from project docs, internship summaries, and portfolios, and the AI compiles a first resume with verified facts.
- People who already have a formatted resume — they can update it with new experiences without breaking pagination, spacing, or alignment.
- Applicants applying to many roles — they can generate multiple tailored versions of the same resume for different job descriptions, each exported separately as HTML and PDF.
What can you do with Vibe Resume Skill?
- Create a resume from scratch: feed in raw materials and a target role, and get a one-page basic-a4 HTML and PDF resume after fact confirmation.
- Update an existing resume: keep the current template and say "add this internship without removing other content" and the skill rebalances the whole page.
- Tailor a resume to a JD: submit a job description for a data-product role and receive a separate version that reorders and re-emphasizes content while preserving facts.
How does Vibe Resume Skill work?
The workflow is: first, send the GitHub repository URL to your AI assistant and ask it to install the skill. Second, choose one of the 12 templates and provide materials — either upload an existing resume or paste a piece of experience. Finally, continue giving natural-language instructions such as "add this internship, keep the style" or "rebalance the bottom spacing" until the exported HTML/PDF passes the final check.
FAQ
Is Vibe Resume Skill free?
The source code is licensed under CC BY-NC 4.0, which permits personal and non-commercial use. Commercial use requires contacting the author.
Which AI assistants does it work with?
It is confirmed to work with Codex, Kimi Work, WorkBuddy, and Kouzi (扣子) spaces, and the repository topics also mention Claude Code, Cursor, and Trae.
Does the skill invent facts?
No. The skill is designed to keep true facts and not fabricate metrics; when materials are unclear, it asks you to confirm facts first.
Can I change the template after generation?
Yes, you can ask the AI to install the skill and then instruct it to switch to another of the 12 built-in templates; each has a distinct information structure and layout.
The skill outputs both HTML and PDF resumes. The HTML templates are the source, and the PDF is generated from them.
